Well it finally happened to me down here in SEMO. We got the mother of all ice storms Monday and lost power. My power was off for about 16 hours. Mid day Tuesday I went and bought a generator because I just couldn't stomach watching my tanks die.
I only ran the return pumps and a heater on each tank. My 120 got down to 72 degrees but I believe everything survived.
Many in the surrounding area are still without power today. Schools have been closed all week. Trees and lines are down all over the place. I have never seen anything like it.
Now my roof is leaking from an ice dam that has formed but not much I can do about that. I guess that's why we pay insurance premiums!
As damaging as the ice can be, I really think it looks cool.
